| 2:05pm | 「Saimoe ‘09」 “Groups G & H, Day 4″ ~ Round 2 Results | | | | Winners: (Ritsu and Ushio tied) and Miyako. I smell conspiracy! Just two days ago Haruhi and Eruruu tied for first. And why KyoAni characters of all people. Ah well, as long as Ushio is still hanging in there, I’m good to go. But still, there’s no excuse for the low voter turnout. Anyway,... | | |

| 3:43pm | Aoi Nishimata Merchandising Mania: Moe Batteries & More |  | | | Top Clannad artist Aoi Nishimata has been known for some time as an illustrator of bags of rice, but this is but the tip of the iceberg, as the below illustrations show, adorning as they do everything from batteries to watermelons: Short of sex-toys or worse there appear to be few... | | |
| 2:05pm | 「Saimoe ‘09」 “Groups C & D, Day 4″ ~ Round 2 Results | | | | Winners: Momoko and Hanyuu. Yeah well, all I have to say is we better have some variety for the Top 8. It’ll be boring if only 2 series are represented. Good to see Hanyuu still alive. For the next set of matches, I’m sure Hinagiku will have a real tough time pulling a win against those... | | |

When I was ready to go, it had been playing for well over a month and... | | |
| 9:04am | Prelude to a Paean, the Origin of Obsession: the waifu post, part 0 | | | | When you just know that campaigning in Saimoe competitions aren’t enough. Heh. Waifus. Of course, the deliberate misspelling of the word only adds to the confusion, seen by ‘ordinary’ readers who come across a post like that. Obviously it’s derogatory. An intentional corruption... | | |
